You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Also, Did DX cheat to get one?
Nope, but I did have the advantage of knowing exactly when the new thread went live.

She's not a gymnast anymore. She stopped being a gymnast after a blowout at the Olympic Trials. For a few years after, she just stayed at home, didn't do anything, gained weight, remained unhappy.
And she's not fat. She's just not having the body of someone whose job is a gymnast.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
A good place to start for all of us, I think. I'm curious about the body unreality -- in a situation where the body's such an instrument, don't you have to be realistic about it to make it do its job? Or is it an expectation thing?
Maybe even though she's not a gymnast anymore, she's still expecting her body to be as it was when she was practicing all the time?
edit: or Kat can explain it better.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm all excited about a short & sweet natter title. No colons or anything!

I know! I like the short natter title.
All of those goals are actually ones that still apply to me now. So maybe I'll print them up and put them on the computer.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Consider yourself busted, sweety. Please leave the coldest room in the house and go lie down. With a blanket!
yes, but did you see the part about the chocolate cupcakes?
I've seen Tom and Nora together -- I don't doubt that he'll make her chocolate cupcakes.

Trust my rage
Crap - I let the dogs out and I missed both the cupcakes and the turning of the thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She's just not having the body of someone whose job is a gymnast.
Aha. Je comprends.
Where is this show you're watching? I want to see if they have an ep on bookworms turned into martial arts obsessives.
Small rant: IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE FUCKING MEETING, TELL ME BEFORE THE ACTUAL MEETING. DECLINE THE INVITE. SOMETHING. YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK EVEN WORSE, WITH THE CONTINUAL LAST-MINUTE RESCHEDULING I HAVE TO DO IN REACTION TO YOUR AVOIDANCE.
Fuck, man.
